Segusini
Template:Short description The Segusini (Gaulish: *Segusinoi, 'those of Segusio') were a Gallic tribe dwelling around present-day Susa, in the Alpes Cottiae, during the Iron Age.
Name
They are mentioned as Segosianō̃n (Σεγοσιανῶν) Strabo (early 1st c. AD),[1] as Segousianō̃n (Σεγουσιανῶν) Ptolemy (2nd c. AD),[2] as Segusinorum on the Arch of Susa,[3] and as Segusinae on an inscription.[4][5]
The ethnonym Segusini is a latinized form of Gaulish *Segusinoi. It means 'the people of Segusio', itself from the root sego- ('victory, force').[5]
